Navigate the Bahamas with ease using the Bahamas Cruising Guide. Whether you're sailing through the Abacos or exploring the Exumas, this practical, easy-to-use resource gives you quick answers to your “where” questions. Spend more time enjoying paradise and less time searching for anchorages, ATMs, or other essential services.

Wherever you are—Northern, Central, or Southern Bahamas—this guide helps you find:

Anchorages with wind/wave protection, depths, currents, and dog-walking spots
Marinas and moorings, with phone numbers and available services
Customs and immigration offices, plus fuel, propane, water, laundry, groceries, hardware/marine stores, liquor, restaurants, bars, and ATMs
Navigation alerts for cuts, coral heads, and hazards
Storm holes for weathering a norther or tropical storm
Haulout facilities with maximum beam (useful for catamaran owners) and contact information

Updated as of October 2023, this guide is available in both waterproof print and PDF formats, ideal for cruisers at home or already in the Bahamas.

Why It’s Different • Answers at a Glance

This guide is organized first by what you need—anchorages, services, storm holes—then by location, making it faster to find what you’re looking for. No lengthy descriptions and no charts—just clear tables to pinpoint the information you need without delay.

How to Use • Quick Steps for Finding What You Need

Designed to answer your questions quickly, this guide makes navigating the Bahamas easy:

Go to the Right Section: Tabs help you find what you need—anchorages, marinas, services, storm holes, or navigation alerts.
Find Your Column: Look for details like wind protection, available services, or depth restrictions.
Locate the X: Organized island-by-island from north to south, each X shows where you can find what you're looking for. Just find the one closest to you!

Anchorage Names: All anchorage names are Active Captain names, which can be overlaid on any navigation app like Garmin, Navionics, or Aqua Map.

For PDF Users:

Clickable tabs let you jump straight to the right section.
Searchable bookmarks make it easy to navigate the table of contents.
Clickable links for phone numbers and websites simplify planning.
Download to multiple devices used on the same boat for flexibility.
